Google Chrome Frame Makes Internet Explorer A Better Browser

Posted: 12 Oct 2010 12:43 AM PDT

Google Chrome Frame is an open source Internet Explorer plugin that enables IE to use the open web technologies and speedy JavaScript engine of Google Chrome.

It is actually not so fresh and around for a while, however, the stable version of the plugin is released lately and it is ready-to-use.

The plugin requires 2 steps to work:

  • The user with IE 6, 7 or 8 should install it
  • The website must add a tag to the web pages (detecting IE users and inserting the tag only for them is a good idea)

After that, any user with those IE versions will have a browser with better capabilities like support for HTML5, CSS3, better JS performance and more.

Google Chrome Frame is already used by many popular websites including DeviantArt, github or HootSuite.

It is definitely not a perfect solution as "a step from end users are required" but at least a step forward and almost doesn't add an extra effort for web designers/developers.
